"They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches, none of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him. For the redemption of their soul is precious.... But God shall redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for He shall receive me" (Psalm 49:6-8, 15). "A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favor rather than silver and gold" (Proverbs 22:1).
They that trust in fleeting wealth
Cannot use their currency
For their soul's eternal health
Or to change their destiny.
Give me rather Jesus' name
Than the riches men applaud.
Neither earthly wealth nor fame,
Can redeem a soul for God.
Choose the loving favor found
In the name of Christ the Lord.
In Him grace and truth abound,
All that heaven can afford!
